Any one know anything about italian souveniers?

![URL removed]

One is a model of the Roman Coliseum and the other is hand with the Vatican & “Rome” written in it. They are NOT plaster – but they are smooth (cool to the touch) and on marble bases. VERY heavy. I think that they are some kind of souvenier – but I don’t know how old they are. I can’t find a likeness anywhere to compare it to and believe me, I’ve tried! The hand model has a 50.00 (pound) sticker on the bottom…

Very unusual.
